Hi All,
I recently entered CG Talk’s ‘Master and Servant’ Challenge, and at the suggestion of
‘Pixologic,’ I’m starting a new thread here on my entry’s development (albeit a little late
in the day!)
Concept Story:
Many days had long since passed when a colony of caring mantises living on the edge
of a forgotten tropical forest had adopted an abandoned baby girl. They had taken her in
as their own, weaning and nurturing her, and teaching the child their ways.
Time went by, and the girl matured quickly and spectacularly into an unusual specimen
of womanhood, later exhibiting many of those habits so peculiar to her mantis’ progeny.
After some years, her two younger step-brothers, after experiencing the death of their
immediate family, vowed to undertake the role of ‘servants’ to their beloved sister; their
mission being to find her a suitable human male partner, in the hope that their
diminished colony might yet survive…

Being very new to ZBrush, my progression towards the final image will be very much a
‘learn-as-you-go’ type experience, and in my muddling through the learning curve, any
comments and advice from you guys would be very much appreciated 
[color=wheat]My planned pipeline:
Modeling - ZBrush and Maya
Texturing - ZBrush
Displacement Mapping - ZBrush to Maya
Shaders, lighting, rendering - Mental Ray for Maya
Hair – Shave and a Haircut (Maya)
Cloth – Syflex (Maya)
I’ll be maintaining updates along with any settings etc.and have included a number of
previous image updates here… first off, the concept sketches:
cheers
Chris
